Wandering among the trees and seeing all of the fancy decorations is just one of the draws at Visions of Trees for Zachary McFarland, 9, and his father, Russell McFarland. Also pictured at the big fundraiser last year is 5-year-old Brookelynn Snyder, right.

Christmas inspiration hits Fort Morgan on Saturday, Nov. 10 in the form of the long-standing tradition of "Visions of Trees."

Dating back to the 1960s when the Hyperion Club was formed, the event features trees, baskets, entertainment, refreshments and a visit from Santa Claus.

The Hyperion Club has disbanded, but a "Visions" committee keeps the event going. Committee members donate time, crafts, cookies and punch.

Visions of Trees is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Life Fellowship at E. Eighth Avenue and Barlow road.

Santa will be on hand from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. There will be no photographer offering photos for sale, but parents and family are welcome to take photos.
